The Michigan

of eastbound and westbound I-94 near Detroit on Saturday. Eastbound
and westbound I-94 will be closed from M-3 (Gratiot Avenue) in
Detroit to I-696 in St. Clair Shores to set bridge beams. The
closure begins at 6 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m.

The eastbound
I-94 detour follows northbound M-3, to eastbound I-696, then back
to eastbound I-94. The ramp from eastbound I-696 to westbound
I-94 also will be closed. The westbound I-94 detour follows westbound
I-696, to southbound M-3, back to westbound I-94.

In addition
to Saturday's closure, eastbound and westbound I-94 will be reduced
